PG&E considers restructuring how residential customers are billed
A new proposal by PG&E could make your electricity bill go up.
The utility wants to restructure how residential electric customers are billed. This would reduce costs for lower-income households, but would increase costs for higher-income customers.
The proposal was filed this week with the California Public Utilities Commission.
Under the plan, monthly bills would be broken into two parts.
The first part is a fixed infrastructure charge, which is tired by customer income level as required by the law. The second part is an electricity use charge, which would vary based on use.
